How do mutated oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes cause cancer?
In recent decades we have been given insight into the process that transforms a normal cell into a malignant cancer cell. It has been recognised that malignant transformation occurs through successive mutations in specific cellular genes, leading to the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. The further study of these genes has generated much of its excitement from ...
متن کاملAcromioclavicular osteoarthritis: a common cause of shoulder pain.
Osteoarthritis of the acromioclavicular joint is a frequent cause of shoulder pain and can result in significant debilitation. It is the most common disorder of the acromioclavicular joint and may arise from a number of pathologic processes, including primary (degenerative), posttraumatic, inflammatory, and septic arthritis. Patients often present with nonspecific complaints of pain located in ...
متن کاملTranscription of ribosomal genes can cause nondisjunction
Mitotic disjunction of the repetitive ribosomal DNA (rDNA) involves specialized segregation mechanisms dependent on the conserved phosphatase Cdc14. The reason behind this requirement is unknown. We show that rDNA segregation requires Cdc14 partly because of its physical length but most importantly because a fraction of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are transcribed at very high rates. We show that...
متن کاملMutated genes, pathways and processes in tumours
Integration of the many available sources of cancer gene information--such as large-scale tumour-resequencing studies--identifies the 'usual suspect' genes, mutated in many tumour types, as well as different sets of mutated genes according to the specific tumour type. Scaling-up the analysis reveals that this large collection of mutated genes cluster into a smaller number of signalling pathways...
متن کاملCan ischemic hip disease cause rapidly destructive hip osteoarthritis? A case report.
Avascular osteonecrosis of the femoral head (AONFH) usually goes through the four stages described by Arlet and Ficat: normal radiographs, heterogeneity and sclerosis of the femoral head, subchondral fracture with an individualized sequestrum, and secondary osteoarthritis. Arlet and Ficat individualized a specific pattern of AONFH which they called ischemic hip disease, in which cartilage damag...
